you don't see many handicapped children at restaurants
fiction
edward w pritchard
When you are down, when you are blue, when you are dissatisfied with your life or your situation it's nice to go to a restaurant and have a fine meal. It always picks me up when I am lonely or sad to be in a busy restaurant with food I enjoy and have a comfortable but ritualized public experience with other diners, even those I don't know or will never see again.
You don't see many handicapped children at restaurants. It would be nice if given the constraints the world puts on handicapped children if once a week or maybe only once a month they could go out to a restaurant and have a good meal and a comfortable experience. It would be good if anyone handicapped who wanted to go could eat for free once a week at an area restaurant. It could be done on a slow night, like Tuesday maybe. The restaurants that wanted to participate could give the food for free to handicapped children and in return get a sticker or something acknowledging their participation and others of the general dining public would know to patronize that establishment. It's a good idea and good for business.
I hope someone high functioning with lots of drive and organizational skills will put this idea together around here where I live. In the meantime I will try in my way to promote and start the ball rolling.

Earnest Hemingway had been writing his weight on the walls of the bathroom of the ranch as was his custom a few minutes before his death. For once he had lost weight, hence the problem. The once robust man's man was described as thin and drawn looking according to long time acquaintances interviewed by Ketchum police.
A double barrel shotgun leaves an awful mess said officers who agreed to talk if left unnamed. He may have been cleaning the gun said another anonymous witness. I don't think so, if you read his books and stories...

It's difficult for a 27 year old graduate student to return to the fourth grade. It's a technicality, a bureaucratic nightmare. Still it is happening. I can't get my PHD in economics from Yale until I spend one month in fourth grade. My State requires a minimum attendance to finish grade school and what with Father's international travel back when I was ten my absenteeism has caught up to me.
Being the biggest kid in the school is one thing. Failing arithmetic because you are fantasizing about the Teacher Miss Ford is something else. Miss Ford has long red hair and a ...

Behind the barricades in the streets of Paris in June of 1848 the women were the last to yield. We feared for their safety. The goverment troops were near and orders were to blow us to pieces.
The women were fighting against perceived injustice, against their husbands and children and would not be intimidated. We talked, we tried threats, we brought survivors of the 1789 violence to speak. To no avail. All reasonable revolutionists had left, but the women remained.
I do not understand women. Me a bachelor, reluctantly I understand their motivations. Tomorrow...
